As for cut vs stab, another thing to throw in is targetting, targetting, targetting. What is the attacker targetting with his cut or stab. I would be more worried about a cut at my femoral artery than a stab to a large muscle mass such as my outside thigh, and vise versa, a stab to the jugular would be far more dangerous than a lateral slash to the bicep (which would even be a stopping cut as it would not properly sever the connecting tissue). Then there is the whole, what is the fine line between a cut vs stab. If I stab someone, and then proceed to cut out that stab, is it still a stab or a cut (make sense?).
